Chapter 707 Where is Su Dong going?
After ten days of training in Dubai and a warm-up match, Bayern returned to Europe and went to Basel, Switzerland.

The head coach of Basel is called Fink.

Not the funk dissecting animals, or the miner funk digging lava, but a midfielder.

Playing for Bayern from the end of the 90s to the beginning of the new century, they helped the team win the Champions League, but their presence in the team is really not very good, and they even failed to enter the German national team in the low period. It is estimated that even many new fans of Bayern have never heard of this name.

However, after being transformed into the head coach, he has done a good job. He previously coached the Bundesliga team because of poor performance in Golstadt.

Fink's coaching is very similar to the former Bayern coach Hitzfeld. It is said that after he retired, he learned a lot from Hitzfeld. Later Hitzfeld coached the Swiss national team and strongly recommended Fink to coach Basel.

Today, Fink's coaching can be said to have embarked on a broad road. As long as he continues to maintain, I believe that coaching the Bundesliga will not be a problem in the future, and he may even have the opportunity to enter the giants.

In the warm-up match between Bayern and Basel, Hitzfeld came to the scene to watch the game in person.

For this warm-up match, Bayern did not use their main force. In the first half, they only arranged rotation and substitute players to play, but they performed poorly and were scored by Basel instead.

After changing sides and fighting again in the second half, Bayern made a large number of substitutions, but their performance still did not improve.

No. 70 minutes, Su Dong came off the bench.

Three minutes later, a direct free kick pierced Basel's goal.

Interestingly, Basel's goalkeeper Wessels is also a former Bayern player.

Afterwards, in the No.805 and No.807 minutes, Su Dong scored two goals in a row and staged a hat-trick.

In the end, Bayern reversed Basel [-]-[-].

……

"He's really amazing!"

In the chairman's stand, Hitzfeld looked at Su Dong who walked off the court, and couldn't help admiring.

"Do you regret it?" Sitting next to him was Bayern chairman Hoeness.

Heathfield chuckled, he knew what Hoeness meant by regret.

When Bayern decided to change coaches and fire Magath, they actually considered letting Hitzfeld take over.

At that time, Bayern was pursuing Su Dong wholeheartedly, and discussed with Hitzfeld and Heynckes successively, and studied with them the feasibility and technical and tactical plans of Su Dong after joining Bayern. Both Hitzfeld and Heynckes agreed very much.

But when it comes to specific coaching, Hitzfeld hesitated because he still wanted to take over the Swiss national team.

More importantly, Bayern invested too much and had high requirements for the head coach. For example, the team's technical and tactical play, Hitzfeld was not sure whether he could achieve the high-level expectations, and his hesitation gave up the opportunity to Heynckes.

The past few years have definitely been the peak period in Bayern's history.

Su Dong is stronger and better than when he played for Barcelona, ​​ushered in the golden period of his career, which made it easier for Bayern to win championships and honors, and Heynckes also made a lot of money.

Hitzfeld asked himself, if he were to coach himself, he might not be able to do better than Heynckes, but he probably would not be much worse. He still has confidence in his coaching ability.

"If I say I have no regrets, you won't believe me, and I don't really believe it myself." Heathfield admitted with a laugh.

At his age, he wasn't afraid to admit these things.

Who hasn't made a bad decision yet?
Besides, his decision was not wrong.

"Actually, when I saw Su Dong, I was really embarrassed. Any head coach who can coach such a player is something to be proud of, and even his entire coaching career."

Hoeness nodded, this was not the first time he heard such words.

Even, if Su Dong stays at Bayern, and Bayern wants to change coaches, it is estimated that famous coaches from all over the world will line up to visit.

"When he was at Sporting Lisbon, I told you, hurry up and sign, but you don't believe it." Heathfield complained.

Hoeness was unhappy after hearing this, "If you want to say that, then why did you still want Roy Mackay?"

"Su Dong was cheap and relatively young at the time, and Ma Kai was an instant fighter..."

Hoeness smiled and waved his hand, "The team's budget is not a problem, but after you sign Ma Kai, Su Dong wants the main position, can you give it? Oh, Ma Kai is what you want to sign, now blame me instead?"

Heathfield laughed. After all, he was just regretting.

If he had signed Su Dong in the first place, he would not have this regret now.

"If you really want me to say, the older you are, the more conservative your mentality is. Look at Heynckes, he's willing to let go, look at his current style of play, how smooth is he playing? This is called keeping pace with the times, destroying your own life first, and then destroying the lives of others, taking big strides and bravely stepping out of your comfort zone. You have to study hard." Hoeness taught.

Hitzfeld always smiled and did not refute.

Hoeness didn't say any more.

In fact, some things are easier said than done.

Everyone knows that it is necessary to bravely step out of the comfort zone. How many are possible?
Heynckes did it?
But why wasn't he cornered at the time?
Even the fans of his hometown team, Borussia Mönchengladbach, who erected statues for him, began to curse him. If he doesn't change himself, can he continue to coach?

Hoeness has already jokingly said that he might as well come to Bayern as a scout.

Hitzfeld doesn't have this pressure, and he doesn't worry about not having coaching opportunities, so he is happy to relax in his comfort zone.

As for regrets, there is no other way.

"You really don't intend to renew the contract with Su Dong?" Heathfield asked with concern.

This is also the focus of media and fans all over Europe and even the world.

Su Dong didn't renew his contract!

Mentioning this, Hoeness shook his head and sighed, "Sudong is not very willing to renew his contract, and you know, according to our plan, if Sudong renews his contract, Ribery and Robben may leave the team to free up part of the salary space and reduce the team's financial pressure. It will be difficult to guarantee results by then."

"Aren't you short of money now?" Heathfield asked inexplicably.

Hoeness shook his head and sighed, "It's not bad now, but it may not be so in the future."

After a pause, the chairman of Bayern explained: "The loan at the Allianz Arena is going to be repaid, to reduce the debt pressure, and hoard a sum of funds. We have a hunch that more and more hot money will pour into European football in the next few years. At that time, the value and annual salary of players are estimated to increase. How much will increase is hard to say, but we need to be prepared and hoard enough food and grass."

Unlike other teams, even teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​Bayern are responsible for their own profits and losses.

If you have money now and spend it lavishly, it is certainly enjoyable, but what if you have no money in the next few years?

How to do?
Is it going to be like Dortmund back then, shrinking clothes and dieting, and even almost went bankrupt?

Hitzfeld coached Dortmund before coaching Bayern, and he has a deep understanding of this, so he can especially understand the sense of urgency of the Bayern management.

As long as the Bundesliga teams still have the pressure to be responsible for their own profits and losses, they can't spend money like other teams in other leagues. Instead, they have to do what they can, and even plan for the long term.

As for Bayern and the Bundesliga, not to mention Su Dong, even Ribery, Robben, Modric, Pepe and other players are not as easy to use and safe as their own players.

At the very least, Bayern's status in the minds of German players is supreme.

"Su Dong is indeed strong. I don't need to say that. I can even say that he is the strongest player I have ever seen. But such a player has played for Bayern for three or four years. It is enough. If it takes longer, we will be under too much pressure." Hoeness said with a sigh.

If Bayern were a team like Real Madrid, he would renew his contract with Sudong no matter what.

Unfortunately, Bayern is not.

"Sudong's departure can free up a lot of salary space, where Bailey and Robben can stay. With Klose and Thomas Muller, if another center forward is introduced, it will be very competitive." Heathfield knows Hoeness well.

The chairman of Bayern nodded with a smile. This is indeed the plan of the management.

Even not only the striker, the midfielder and the defense are immobile. After all, Bayern's current young generation is rising very fast.

"Where will Su Dong go?" Heathfield asked with concern.

He wasn't worried that Su Dong would have nowhere to go. After all, many teams were rushing to get a player of this level.

"I don't know, maybe Real Madrid or Manchester United, maybe Chelsea or Juventus, maybe even Manchester City."

"Manchester City?" Heathfield was a little surprised.

"Nellinger said that during his stay in Abu Dhabi, Mansour, the owner of Manchester City, personally talked to him about the introduction of Sudong, Modric, Pepe, Marcelo and Neuer."

"What?" Heathfeld was full of surprise, and then laughed out loud, "He's just trying to hollow out Bayern."

Hoeness smiled wryly, who said no?
Ma Dan, you poached most of the main lineup directly, why didn't you also poach Ribery and Robben together?

"However, Manchester City is really not short of money."

That's what worries Hoeness.

There was Chelsea in the front, Manchester City in the back, and after Florentino entered the palace for the second time, he searched for superstars everywhere.

If there are other local tyrants entering the football world in the next few years, the competition for superstars will only become more and more fierce, and the salaries of the stars will become higher and higher. At that time, Bayern will have no money on hand, let alone signings, and they will not even have the ability to keep the current batch of players. What will they do to compete in European football?

This is why Hoeness, Beckenbauer, Rummenigge and others are so determined to increase efforts to train the younger generation of German players. Only they are the future that Bayern can rely on.
